Re: [Bacula-users] Scaling Bacula
Adrian Reyer: Make sure you have cache ram on your raid controller and a battery backup unit installed. MySQL and Postgres like to write in sync. With BBU+cache the write is completed as soon as the controller has the data, no need to wait for disks. I doubt RAID0 would gain you much if any. Using a SSD for the database storage should speed up the setup considerably. In my experience, they feel a bit like a in-memory database ;-). RAID0 for the spinning disks won't give much of a win, because database stuff is normally more bound to seek performance, than to io bandwidth, and only the latter will improve in that setup. regards, Dietz -- To be a bug is a dumb thing, a silly and a bump thing, but to be a bug is something, and You're not a thing at all. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -- This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
[Bacula-users] Long-term off-site storage with Bacula
Hi all I've a backup scenario I'm wanting to implement with bacula, but need some advice about whether this is a correct, stable approach. The scenario is this: our office want an off-site backup, preferably using bacula as we're used to it. Due to the slow nature of our office's ADSL link, we want to do this: 1. We set up a box with a RAID5 array to store backed-up data 2. Do one full backup of all of our data (about 1TB) before taking the machine off-site 3. Do monthly full backups of the data, with daily differential backups (rather than incremental) to make restoration reasonably quick (daily backups amount to ~50MB max) Having talked to someone on the #bacula IRC channel, they've suggested we start with a Base backup type, so my strategy would be this: 1. Create a Base backup with the machine on-site 2. Configure monthly Full backups based on the base, to run off-site 3. Configure daily differentials as per normal 4. Set up bacula-fd to encrypt all data submitted as per instructions online 5. Set up SSH tunnels into the office to run bacula over Does this sound reasonably sensible?

When you update the client it removes all of the shared libraries that belong to that version, ie. 5.2.3 in your case, including those used by the server binaries. Yes, I upgraded the server first before upgrading the client. I then restarted the services and, lo and behold, the error message. Should I reinstall the client? ~Doug I think you should first delete both bacula-server and bacula-client, and then install them both. I don't know whether the order matters. PS. This 2 ports having the same libraries is quite a mess in means of FreeBSD ports, isn't it? Yes, and it's beyond my skill set (as FreeBSD port maintainer) to know how to do it otherwise. There was a patch, submitted in January, but I have not had time to review it. It was submitted by Alonso Cárdenas Márquez (a...@freebsd.org). I have just replied to him asking about a shared library solution. -- Dan Langille - http://langille.org -- This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
